OK, I didn't realise people were automatically passing these strings.

In principle, one can reconstruct the path from the test-name by 
sticking "dlls" and "tests" in the right places.

Presumably emacs (or whatever) can be taught these tricks, so one 
could display the tests as "ole32%moniker.c:123" (just to avoid the 
"/" character) and have emacs link to 
"dlls/ole32/tests/moniker.c:123"

Alternatively, we can store the full path and have the test name-space 
coincident with the filesystem, which is the simplest but (slightly 
wasteful) solution.

What would people prefer?

Paul.
